Benni – Bafana are playing with more freedom under Pitso
'You can see players play with freedom, excitement and joy in the camp (under Mosimane),' said the Kenya head coach.
Kenya head coach Benni McCarthy expressed his admiration for South Africa's national team, Bafana Bafana, under new coach Pitso Mosimane. McCarthy, who is Bafana's leading all-time goalscorer, observed that Bafana played with greater freedom, excitement, and joy under Mosimane's leadership compared to when they were under Belgian head coach Hugo Broos.
McCarthy believes that the players felt more at ease and understood the culture under Mosimane, who embodies the spirit of South Africa. He thinks that if Bafana had that same leadership at the recent 2026 FIFA World Cup finals, they might have performed better. McCarthy, who has a history of competing against Mosimane, praised the current team as strong and capable, expressing his hope for Bafana's ongoing success under Mosimane's guidance.
